Not Quite Mainstream: Canadian Jewish Short Stories

This anthology traces the development of the short story in Jewish Canadian literature—from the early works, translated in Yiddish, by Yaacov Zipper and Chava Rosenfarb, to the recent works of young writers such as Cary Fagan, Claire Rothman, and Robyn Sarah. It includes writers better known as novelists—Matt Cohen, Mordecai Richler, and Adele Wiseman—as well as stories by others better known as poets and journalists—Tom Wayman, Ken Sherman, and Elaine Kalman Naves.
